Skateboarders, community supporters and city officials gathered Saturday to celebrate the reopening of the skate bowl at East Side Rec.

The skate bowl was filled with dirt in 2010 after the city laid off personnel who monitored the park, and there were liability concerns over the lack of supervision. According to Mayor Scott Johnson, the bowl was filled in so that it could, if things changed, be dug out.
